Now, it appears Wi-Fi Calling may launch soon, as the company’s website now details the feature, and support pages as well.

Videotron explains, “When you’re travelling abroad, use a Wi-Fi network to connect with your loved ones back home. Wi-Fi Calling lets you enjoy international calling and texting with no long-distance charges and without using an app.”

Wi-Fi Calling will allow customers to accept incoming and make outgoing calls within a foreign country, without incurring charges, anywhere in the world. The same goes for incoming and outgoing messages worldwide.
